Not so great, Sony ...
#11
Was going to get a6000 after checking Sony lenses offering and their quality i am hesitating...

   That means wide open it's light equivalent is F22 in the corners!

This is an artistic lens to accentuate the center. Or "what bokeh can't deliver, will be swallowed by a black hole".

It performs better than the Canon L and Nikkor overall.

Reminds me of the old days of putting too thick of a filter on a wide angle lens and wondering why the corners were so dark.

I wonder why they couldn't just bite the bullet and go for a 82mm front filter to ease the vignetting problem... probably they were egged on by those who demand as compact a design as possible, and 82mm filters are still seen as "too large".

#18
Even the Nikkor 24-120mm f4 gets by with a 77mm filter size. The issue is the undercorrection, not the filter size?

#19
  I think Rover meant that using a larger filter size would have enabled the designers to use greater diameter glass reducing it's ferocious vignetting! 

 

  At least if that is what Rover meant?.......I agree with him! 

#20
If the designers corrected the huge barrel distortion at the wide end, they do not need to think about a bigger front element, a bigger filter size, because the vignetting is not there then...

 

And bigger front elements means much more weight, and a higher price.
